The Annapurna Circuit is a classic trail that goes around the massive Annapurna group through subtropical forest, vast meadows, high alpine territory and glacial lakes. Our variation of the standard AC trail avoids the crowds of the lower trail, and adds a visit to the gigantic Tilicho Lake which is considered as the world’s highest alpine lake at an altitude of 4920 M. The trek deviates from the standard and more crowded Annapurna Base Camp trek and gives you a variety of scenery while crossing mighty passes and glacial lakes. Due to the trek’s maximum altitude of 5420 M and a longer duration of walk through rough terrain, it demands good physical fitness. This circuit trek can be done throughout the year except for the monsoon months when Nepal receives high amount of rainfall and in the winter months of December and January when Thorung La pass will be shut due to heavy snowfall. Spring and Autumn seasons are usually the best time to undertake the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
